Did you purchase QuickBooks Enterprise before September 2014? Are you still on their legacy plan and paying the amounts in blue? And maybe extra for payroll? Or advanced inventory that you no longer need?

As an Intuit Premier Reseller, I can switch you to a regular subscription plan (yellow) with my lifetime perpetual discount of 20% for 1-10 licenses and 12.5% for 11-30 off Intuit's price and save you the amount in green over what you are paying now.

You still have the same Full-Service plan from Intuit with U.S. based product and technical support, next year's version when it comes out in September, and onsite backup.

In some cases, I can get you free enhanced DIY payroll with direct deposit for unlimited employees. Why pay more for the same services? Intuit has many sales channels.

If you don't need to switch, use my Advanced Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor (desktop and online) with additional certification in Point of Sale and Enterprise and a Top 100 (Quick Books) ProAdvisor from 2014 to present according to Insightful Accountant to solve your problems, review what you have done (DIY doesn't mean you did it right), or train you or your employees.
